Great post! Mine should be 87 and some change after tonight's run. I ran my first half marathon earlier this month, and am now training for my first full in October.

Does it really matter what other people think? Hang out with the angels. Ditch the creeps. There are plenty of both to go around. Life is too short to figure out why people do the crazy things they do.

Dogs all the way, baby; the bigger, the better!

I don't mean to make light of your situation, but every day is a good one as long as we start it on the right side of the grass. Create a list of positive things about your life, with "breathing" at the very top. Add youth (or at least a youthful spirit), strong legs, a clear mind, etc. Focus on the good stuff, and tell…
